Palmer – who came off the bench to level for the Three Lions – was spotted with a mystery woman while soaking up the Spanish sun.

As revealed by The Sun, it was nail artist Connie Grace from his home of Manchester who was cosying up to the Premier League star.

The two were seen enjoying a date in the sea on a paddle board before spending some time together on a boat.

But Palmer is now back in England and back at Chelsea’s Cobham training ground ahead of the upcoming season.

He has not been a part of the West Londoners so far disastrous pre-season tour of America.

New boss Enzo Maresca has watched his side win just once in five Statesdie friendlies.

Their latest was a 2-1 loss to Real Madrid which followed on from 4-2 defeat to Manchester City and a 4-1 drubbing against Celtic before that.

Chelsea did beat Club America 3-0 and drew 2-2 in their pre-season opener to Wrexham.

The squad are due back to England this week to reunite with Palmer, 22, and Euro 2024 winner Cucurella, 26.

Striker Nicolas Jackson, 23, was on tour but did not feature amid an injury with Maresca hoping to welcome back his trio of stars.

He said: “We will see when they play – not sure for Inter, hopefully for the City game.

“They are all important players. In terms of numbers, Cole and Nico scored almost 40 goals so they are both very important, and Marc too.

“The important thing is they start training with us, and soon we can use them.”
